After it was announced on December 14 EST that it would file for bankruptcy and be acquired by Sugikawa, iRobot's stock price fell precipitously. On December 15 and 16, its stock price fell 66% to 1.185 US dollars/share, and 78.19% to 0.77 US dollars/share, respectively. The market value was only 24.1943 million US dollars. In the future, iRobot will be delisted and the value of its shares will return to zero. From being an industry pioneer in driving sweepers into homes and a former global sweeper robot champion, to continuous losses and being forced to file for bankruptcy, iRobot's development trajectory over the past 35 years has left the industry stunned. Regarding the direction after the acquisition, a relevant person from Sugikawa told reporters on December 17 that Sugikawa will simultaneously promote iRobot's overseas and Chinese business, retain the original brand, and obtained iRobot's regional agency rights in China in August of this year.
